dooyou Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 And you are gonna keep all info for yourself ? What's up? Use the forum search, you will find a lot of informations about your mainboard. that was what i did here: Reading, testing and i had a lot of trouble but now it works! Everything was i did was to create a boot cd, installing the bios mod and using the retail dvd for installation. Thats all.

og-phantom Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Barnum, are you having any shared library problems when installing apps? I was running modded BIOS 0703 on my P5Q Pro, but constantly getting these messages when attempting to install software with iDeneb v1.3 It has nothing to do with your bios. You need to install the "carbon lib fix" for ideneb 1.3. Do a search on the forums, you'll find it.
